Need help eating over 1,000 calories

Thisisaliv

I have a hard time eating over 1,000 calories because I'm never really hungry. I never realized I've been eating under 1,000 calories until I downloaded this app and begin to track my eating. Do you guys have any food that's healthy but also can boost my calorie intake

Avocados, nuts, peanut butter, stuff like that.

Are you losing weight when you don't want to?

Then eat more, or switch to foods that are more calorically dense. Like peanut butter and ice cream. There is a list of calorically dense foods that I am sure some kind person will link to very soon!

Is your weight behaving the way you want it to? Or perhaps, you're not losing weight when you actually WANT to? Then weigh your food on an electronic scale and log it before you eat it.

BTW: 1000 Cal is a pretty small amount of food. What do you eat in a typical day? In what quantity?

If you are under-nourished on a regular basis just about any food out there that closes the gap is now healthy.

Are you ill, or is your logging just very off?

Are you trying to lose weight, gain weight, or maintain your current weight? If you aren’t currently underweight or losing weight that you don’t want to lose, then the first thing to do is double check your logging to make sure you are weighing all your food accurately. You may be eating much more than you think you are.

It's photoshopped, it would be quite interesting if it wasn't.

Totally agree, Nobody looks like that on 1000 calories a day, Maybe 4000. Geez I have trouble not being hungry on 1700 calories a day, nevermind 1000.

I wish I had your problem. Anyway, there are tons of food that would get you over 1000 calories like cheese.

Yeah I saw your photo and immediately thought BS

Guys, look at the photo carefully. It is really obviously photoshopped

Profile also says female.

If you look at a larger version of the picture, you will see that it is unabashedly edited. There is no pretense that it is a real head & body match.

+1 to the calorie dense stuff. Nuts, oils, fats, carbs, etc. Two foods I like to add to my day when I workout are 25g of granola and a peanut butter sandwich. 375 Calories, 38.5g carbs, 20g fat, 19g protein. There are a lot of great suggestions here. It's also interesting to see the flip side of the coin, most people have a hard time sticking with a low calorie amount due to not feeling full. Good luck! Be sure to post what worked for you.

She's in Garland. Huevos rancheros on flour tortillas with cheese. Add that to your breakfast and you'll bust right through 1000.
